It would only be scary in a situation where: 1. information is added to a Wikipedia article without a source, 2. same information is reported in a newspaper which used Wikipedia as a (possibly uncredited) source. 3. Wikipedia article is "updated" to cite the newspaper as a source.
In other cases, ones where we can conclusively tell whether the chicken or the egg crossed the street first, it's nothing to worry about.
